CAO Message

Drumheller’s strength lies in its people, as demonstrated by our dedicated volunteers during the recent Valley clean-up initiative this spring and the success of our many local community events, including all the Canada Day festivities. “I am honoured to continue serving our residents. Together, we will face new challenges and seize opportunities to continue to make Drumheller a place we’re all proud to call home.” - Esther Quiambao, CAO
